Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable fructokinase activity and glucokinase activity. Predicted to be involved in carbohydrate metabolic process; glucose 6-phosphate metabolic process; and intracellular glucose homeostasis. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human GCK (glucokinase).
